Lily practiced very diligently too...
Eugene felt a surge of satisfaction; the young heiress he had chosen was far more hardworking than he had imagined.
They listened as Lily raged on until, in the end, she rejected the entire plan.
"I said it had to be kept to the lowest possible level!"
"Don't talk to me about competition! With me around, Eldorado must be the only one!"
"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it!"
puff!
Eugene almost couldn't hold it in; if you weren't a pretty girl, I would have burst out laughing!
It hasn't been long, and you've already revealed your true nature, transforming into an incredibly stingy and wicked capitalist!?
As the echoes faded, the meeting came to an end.
The three stood side by side, watching the well-dressed, pot-bellied tycoons pour out of the door.
Those who once held themselves in high esteem now had faces ashen and worn from being exploited.
It seems that after Lily took over, she put considerable pressure on them by leveraging her position as the largest shareholder and the power of the two former underground figures.
The entire group's culture has been reshaped.
"Whoosh—" Eugene peeked out and glanced into the room.
At one end of the enormous long table, Lily, dressed in a grand and elegant gown, was pinching her brow and sighing.
She was so small, yet sitting there, she exuded such a powerful aura.
It's worth noting that she had something placed on the chair.
"President Erd, you seem a little tired."
The tall and elegant secretary beside him tensed up.
Would you like me to make you a cup of tea?
Lily nodded. In the past two days, she had been truly shocked by the incompetence of these people in high positions.
A giant corporation that wields immense power in Orario has board members and major shareholders who are all nothing but opportunists.
If it weren't for Chloe and Noruva's methods, she wouldn't have been able to subdue these arrogant guys so quickly.
"I can't be soft-hearted; I must hold onto this position."
Lily clenched her small hands, her eyes serious.
Compared to the hellish environment of the past, her current situation is much, much easier.
They're nothing but a bunch of scheming parasites. She will never be defeated, and she will never allow herself to be defeated!
Because I'm sitting here for him!
The secretary's footsteps were hurried, but she stopped at the door.
She watched in astonishment as the man took the tea from her, while she was blocked outside the door by two female bodyguards.
"President Erd, would you like a cup of hot tea?"
Eugene's voice was soft, but it stirred up a huge wave in Lily's agitated heart!
Every time he appeared, he filled her with immense joy.
"Lord Eugene! How could you..."
Lily's little face was first surprised, then quickly filled with joy.
She watched the man walk towards her step by step, carrying a cup of refreshing hot tea.
He always shows up when I need him.
This cup of tea reminded Lily of the glimmer of hopeful azure light she had seen in that dark passageway.
She was quite moved; if it were Eugene, even just a cup of tea would be captivating.
However, Eugene's abilities are not limited to this.
Appearing when she needs you and behaving appropriately will earn you the most favor.
Eugene placed the tea on the table and quietly gazed at Lily's small face.
"Lord Eugene? Um, what's wrong with me?"
Lily panicked a little, thinking she had something on her face.
She raised her hand to wipe it, but then stopped abruptly.
Because Eugene had already cupped her pretty face, his thumb gently caressing the corners of her eyes where concealer had been applied.
"Ah, this is..."
Lily felt embarrassed; she had been staying up late studying for the past two days.
Sometimes, it can even last until dawn.
For her, who was no longer an adventurer, such a burden was simply too great.
This is also one of the reasons why 387 has been irritable lately.
However, as Ms. Lily Luca, President Erd, she could not show the slightest weakness.
"Ah."
Eugene smiled gently, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Lily, you're really working hard."
His words were like an arrow, piercing straight through Lily's defenses.
The girl was stunned.
She blinked, trying to see any other hidden meaning in Eugene's face.
But there was nothing there except heartache.
pat.
Ugh?
My eyes suddenly feel so sore?
I didn't mean to cry!
Despite her inner denial, when facing Eugene, Ms. Lily Luca Erd has become the same Lily who had nothing.
All she had was this man's embrace; all she could rely on was this man's chest.
This is something worthless, but to Lily, each one is more precious than the whole world.
"Thank you so much for your hard work."
Eugene held the girl tightly, letting her release the pent-up pressure in his arms.
For a long time, the two remained silent.
He only let go of Lily after she had calmed down and regained some of her energy.
"Thank you, Lord Eugene."
The girl, whose eyes looked as if they had been painted with rouge, was no longer troubled.
Her smile was radiant, and she was full of energy again.
"Lily can't always be like this."
"Sometimes, they have to rely on me."
"After all, I want to rely on you for a very, very long time."
Is it a very, very long time...?
Lily drifted off into thought again, remembering the wish she had shouted out that day.
I'm going to take care of you for the rest of your life!
“Well, Lord Eugene, please lower yourself and come before Lily.”
Eugene obediently did as he was told, half-squatting in front of the girl.
boo.
Before he could make a move, his lips suddenly felt wet.
"Ahhh!!"
The two girls guarding the goal simultaneously lost their tempers!
Leaking the news! This is a serious case of sneaking the news!
Faced with a bewildered Eugene and his squeaking subordinates, Lily calmly picked up her teacup and took an elegant sip.
She winked playfully at the man who was savoring the fragrance.
"Thank you for your service, this is a tip."
176 You are beautiful and fragrant.
They happily bid farewell to Lily, who was now full of energy, and the two girls who were still full of resentment.
Eugene strolled leisurely along the way and arrived at the bountiful hostess.
He thought Liu was there, but Mia's mother told him that the girl hadn't come to work for several days.
"Although I'm glad we're rid of an employee who's always causing trouble, you should still go and look for her."
After uttering those words, which were half disdain and half concern, Mia's mother ignored Eugene.
Of course, he was also not allowed to get intimate with the girls who surrounded him.
“Mr. Eugene? It’s been a few days.”
The charming gray-haired signboard girl, Seele, appeared before us once again. Freya's realistic acting perfectly transformed her mature and sophisticated image into a cute girl next door.
Even the many gods who frequently came to flirt with her never recognized her disguise.
